Easy Cheesy Dump and Bake Broccoli and Rice Casserole (Vegan, Gluten Free, Flour Free):

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

Casserole:

  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 2 medium heads broccoli roughly chopped (about 4 cups)
  • Oil to grease pan I used coconut oil

Creamy Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 1 Tablespoon vegan and gluten free bouillon
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. Place all ingredients for the creamy sauce in a blender and blend until completely smooth. It will be very liquid at this point, but the corn starch and the nutritional yeast will help it set when it cooks.
  3. Grease a medium sized pan (I used a vintage size 6 cast iron skillet, a 9” square pan would also work well).
  4. Place 1/2 of the broccoli on the bottom of the pan.
  5. Spread the rice over the broccoli.
  6. Place the second 1/2 of the broccoli on top of rice, pressing the pieces into the rice.
  7. Pour the sauce over the rice and broccoli.
  8. Cover with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove aluminum foil.
  11. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the top is turning a light golden brown.
